I was on the yellow spur leading the 5th pitch when I fell about 20-30ft. I'm ok bruised ribs, sprained wrist and four stitches. My partner and I were able to rappel straight down but we had to leave some gear. If anyone found a #2 mastercam, my partner and I can't agree if it was on the red ledge or by the tree on the start or the second pitch. If found please PM me and I will give you an address to send it to or drop it off. I'll compensate appropriately. I also want to thank Peter and Matt who were following. They let me and my partner rapp off their anchor and kept me talking. Also thanks to Eli from Climbing Life and his crew for being nearby and helping me on the walk out. This was a real crummy way to extend my vacation. At least I can still take another vacation.
